Teen charged over Perth party violence
A teenager has been charged with assault after violent chaos erupted on a suburban Perth street following an 18th birthday party, resulting in a teenager's death.
The 16-year-old boy was charged over an attack on an 18-year-old man who was found hurt on a Girrawheen footpath on February 19, police said on Thursday.
The victim was hospitalised but discharged the next day.
The teeanger is the second person to be charged over the night of violence after Tommy John Jackson, 18, was accused of murdering South Sudanese boy Kuol Akut.
The 17-year-old was found lying unconscious on a nearby footpath and died six days later at Royal Perth Hospital.
Jackson appeared briefly in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on Wednesday and will face court again next month.
